[@rogueFactor]

it seems like that initial exclamation point made your entire overdub sound like you were frustrated at the listener. haha. but it's still pretty automagical

[@MySperrytop]

Hi Jenn, thanks for sharing. I immediately heard the difference between your real voice and the A.I. from the first clip. It was a bit too fast the way it read the sentences and maybe if there was a way to control the speed of the voice would make it much more accurate. What do you think? As we know naturally when we speak, speed, pitch and tone make a huge difference how your speech is perceived.

[@charlesneely]

What are you worried about this is how it is in the world deal with it

[@weareunstoppable935]

Do I have to use my own voice or can I use AI(not copy of my voice) and still get monetized?

[@mccleish]

We are certainly living in the future! If you didn't tell me this was being overdubbed by Descript I would have totally believed everything was you. This is the thing about technology, it keeps getting incrementally better and as time progresses it seems like magic. I await to see the full AI version of you in the next video!

[@joahanmarks8560]

Awesome! That is absolutely your voice. I was at another window just hearing your video and at first I didn't even noticed it was the TTS that said "Let's hear what this voice sounds like". I'm hoping they include this feature in Brazilian Portuguese, they are already transcribing to my language, would be awesome to have my own voice in my native language!

[@zachmartin2957]

great video! Really like the way you interact with the viewer, and was very helpful!

[@AdatheTraveler]

Thx for including this amazing product. I wonder if I put a transcript of another language, do I have to record my own voice again in other language?

[@tangotribu]

Thanks, Jenn for making this video, thank you KZbin for showing it to me! ❤

[@instructionaldesign2023]

Great review yet again! I agree. Descript is certainly a game changer. I use it quite a lot and it is hard to tell the difference when using the overdub feature. I am looking forward to when the development team overhaul the UI to make it less clunky and more userfriendly. Keep up the good work!

[@j.goebbels2134]

Not saying simp things like "game changer" would be a game changer at this point.

[@AmazingPhilippines1]

Cool! Watching from the Philippines and just came across your channel. After searching through your video topics, I subscribed, as I appreciate the options and learning experience.

[@Odaddysnow]

Descript is fantastic! My wife thought I was talking live through a whole script! She thought it was pretty scary!

[@diptiman2008]

Jenn..I saw your video first time. I must say that I enjoyed that bubbly voice of yours and the so relatable expressions... its so refreshing. You will do outstandingly well. . You are underrated Dear. I am seeing 140k subs today. Hope the next time I see you will be crossing a million. Rock !!

[@synthesia-io]

So cool, really looking forward to this Jenn!

[@thedvguy]

This is very cool! I'm a filmmaker. We do a thing called ADR, where we bring the actor in to overdub their voice when there's too much background noise on location, or for some other reason the audio recorded on set doesn't work. This could save a lot of time and $$$. Thanks for sharing!

[@MrOscar5690]

be careful using this for that service, last thing you'd want is for them to own at least in part, the voices in your film... Seek a commercial license instead

[@TheGeneticHouse]

I am legally blind and cannot use the text editor in descript at all. The overdub is so amazing I will spend an extra hour going to a text editor copying pasting into descript until it gets to be correct lol

[@fastheartmartvideos]

Thanks for this helpful video! "Descript Overdub" does sound really good!

[@Mohamed-430]

You've done an outstanding review of this software. Thank you for sharing

[@magu619]

Very clever Jenn, indeed! Thank you so much! 🙏🔝🔝🔝

[@sipandsynoptics]

This is wild! I downloaded descript by mistake and stumbled across this video. But now I'm super excited to use it!! Lol

[@glaucopedroforte]

Hi there! Great review, thanks! Does Descript have a bank of ready to use voice overs that I could use without the need of uploading my own voice?

[@ProAdvicez]

Great video, it was really insightful, keep them coming.....

[@buckycore]

This tool seems so amazing and fun to use!!!

[@anxietyexpertwahida]

Thanks for showing this I’m a hypnotherapist and I’ve lost my voice with laryngitis multiple times so it’s now mostly croaky so I’ve delayed creating hypnosis audios. I’m hoping this has natural sounding tones and not robot if i try to use it for recordings or videos 😊

[@BILLTHOMPSON-pp9qk]

Hi Jenn, you are my favorite for learning. Thanks to you, I have Descript Pro. I have a video that's been published on KZbin. Now I want to use my AI voice to dub over my regular voice on the video, (I keep getting errors). do you have a vid for that? Or reference me to one? Many Thanks. Bill T

[@real45x63]

Thanks for this great video, and you are right about the awful and unintuitive UI 😖 It took me a while even after reading documentation that in order to access the stock voices, I needed to go into writing mode, and from there I could then click on a "Speaker Label" to access the voices. It just wasn't self-explanatory enough. But the stock voices are amazing.

[@dt9233]

I think this is amazing and have been purchased the pro to work out this program... My problem is how do you make the voice change for the styles for the voice we made ? I'm lost..... Yes the GUI is a bit confusing..

[@rickard.eriksson]

I compressed the descript audio, and EQ a bit. So the amplitude is bigger, and its sounds more organic.

[@sumdomguoy548]

How do you do that?

[@stratinolampino]

@@sumdomguoy548 I tried it using GarageBand. It’s mainly used for music but you can use it to compress audio and mess with the Eq

[@prescriptionlaughter]

very useful and well explained, thank you!

[@steves672]

Fantastic presenting! Brilliant! 👋

[@Big-GVideo]

Great idea and video. Ii I were watching a video where this technique has been used I wouldn't be able to tell the difference

[@jefflordan]

I can hear a big difference in the timbre of the voice as if they were recorded in different environments. As far as telling whether it was you or not is another story. That is quite amazing.

[@MrVuTrades]

Great content! Thanks for sharing.

[@merlizaserna]

Great work, thanks!

[@iphris_in_words]

This was so cute! I really need to resume going out by myself soon and feel that main character energy.💜

[@dejalaenvisto]

Excelente, me encanto la forma y toda la informacion, increible, muy bueno 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

[@ScottSalvi]

I don't have a great Overdub voice yet...I want to try to use one of their default voices for my next video just to test... :) Thanks Jenn!

[@skyheart125]

Totally awesome... probably, some future software can even "learn" with more samples given to even analyze inflection , pauses.. etc.

[@consumationist]

Excellent video. First time I hear of such a technology.

[@luketien928]

This is amazing...! And thank you for demo'ing everything! Very clear and detailed compared to a number of what other people have done. One personal observation though, you sound a bit angry in the Descript Overdub voice. 🤣

[@leblancfilm]

Jenn - your results are amazing! Your overdub voice does sound a lot like you and inspired me to give it a try myself but my overdub voice was NOWHERE NEAR as realistic sounding as yours! It was laughably robotic. Thoughts? And/or has anyone else gotten similar results to Jenn? I recorded a 15 min sample (professional microphone & recorder in a soundproof booth) and the quality of the overdub sounded highly robotic and unusable. Anyone else have better success?

[@FIREcrochethairstyles]

You gotta keep feeding the machine voice samples

[@RickPena777]

ok I'm convinced! Thank you! Great video, I'm scurrrred LOL.

[@KING-pl3jg]

Pretty wild stuff, I ran into your video when I found out that the voice of Darth Vader in Obi-Wan Kenobi was not James Earl Jones, it was all AI. Great video explaining this process.

[@asociacioncolibri]

Sounds great, can it also be used with languages ​​other than English?😀

[@rickdeckardbladerunner2049]

Could you create character voices and select them for audiobooks? I can do many voices, so wonder how that would work with this.

[@mvuto137]

Greetings Jenn... one other thing I'd add is... breathing... There are tools that add extended breathiness of certain words. Perhaps if given the opportunity to adjust via special tags in text, that would help. I noticed in your original verbiage, your "and" words were more emphasized than the AI. However, still a hell of an achievement for sure.

[@PhetteHollins]

Wow. Super impressive & definitely a game changer.

[@gavproductions]

Jenna Is this the place to ask a question? I just noticed the text animations within Keynote. Very nice, but are these effects available in Motion??

[@ProPetPhotog]

Mind. Blown.wowza. can't wait for next weeks vid.

[@JennJager]

Glad you're excited!

[@coloradodayhiker]

A couple of things that I have noticed with several of the Ai text to speech programs is that they speak to fast so trying to get them to slow down can be a bit of a problem, and also trying to convey emotions can be impossible to do. But given time these text to speech programs will only get way much better.

[@edstar83]

How much better? kzbin.info/www/bejne/g4XCpmyIqtelp8k

[@MovieWorld-id7qd]

How can I solve this? Each time I extract an audio voice in a video and translate it to another audio voice and when I try to put it back to the video it does not match the video any more. Is either the voice is moving faster than the video or the video is moving faster than the voice please how can i make it match to look more real?

[@xs-writing]

Question: if I use my voice for my text to speech, it will stay just with me right? Or will it be available to other users?

[@tallboarder]

@jennjager Descript Overdub does a correct American speech pattern with a flat or downward inflection at the end of the sentence indicating it's a statement. The upward inflection is reserved for a question. The reason you hear it differently is because your speech patterns fall into the uptalk/upspeak with the upward inflection at the end of a definitive statement sentence. If you pay attention and by eliminating the uptalk/upspeak and record it again then the Overdub will make a better match. You can search the topic of uptalk/upspeak in KZbin you'll find many videos explaining why it should be corrected. All the best.

[@turkeybuttsammich]

Great video -- and Yes -- your voice was REALLY good... WOW!!!

[@JennJager]

I was shocked!

[@aslynnmoore8601]

I can definitely tell when it is you speaking and when it was the program. It sounds like the same person speaking either way, but you speaking sounds enthusiastic and the program sounds stern. It wouldn't matter for a short overdub of a segment, but you wouldn't want to use it for the whole presentation. At least until they add some emotional markup to it.

[@TheGeneticHouse]

This descript overdub voice TTS is the best thing out there! Truly amazing! But it would have caution Don't like I did try uploading 9 hours of your video for it to train on your voice lol this is still too new and it will just break everything lol Little bits at a time :-)

[@LegacyCrusaders]

If you just record a bunch of actual spoken word audio in descript using the in programs recorder or by uploading a file, if you apply your overdub speaker label to the audio, you can then select a few words in a sentence and right click and goto the overdub drop down menu and create a new voice style, then your over dubs using that style should fit in with the audio in that sentence you apply it to better. You also get to keep the style, and if you think your overdubs just sound better with that style just use it instead of the default. I find one of the styles I've made just sounds more natural then the one they sent back to me.

[@justicedugbazah3705]

Wow superb. I never knew the descript voice was playing. I thought the whole voice was your voice only.

[@kathybirkett7986]

Maybe it's because I was an audio engineer, but I could tell right away. That inflection is part of your personality coming through when you talk, and the software doesn't match it at all. However, for short mistake replacements, it would likely be fine. I wouldn't use it for a long project, though. Interesting software and testing! Thanks for sharing.

[@maigematthews5620]

That’s pretty neat! I would like to use a voice cloning app to take my personal voice and have the AI speak other languages. So I can just now text in my language, translate it into another language. Last try French. And have the AI speak as if it were me speaking in French in my personal tone of voice. How possible can we make that happen?

[@tildemogensen2837]

This is great! Any thoughts on this tool called LinguaScribe perhaps? Seems a fit for me. It can translate, transcribe, and voiceover content all in one including text-to-speech, speech-to-text, and speech-to-speech abilities.

[@julian42x]

Can you download other people's voices or is it just for your own?

[@Dynaboy1]

Is there any good TTS text to speech software that we can download and use on our PC? I don't like online apps

[@XxDarkRaverxX]

Is there a way to edit the inflection or emphasis of words with this software?

[@chrisbenn]

What if you are dyslexic and just want to read text online? Can this program read for you?

[@fonsavan]

mind blown! excellect video

[@dfxdfx5368]

The A I. voice sounds more aggressive than yours. You are right about the app not being very simple to navigate in. I tried it a week ago, I wanted to generate a voice (not mine) but I didn't manage to do that. I wrote my piece and no sound came out of it.

[@bletheringfool]

Like an evil clone

[@crossovercomix3411]

Hi. Have you heard about "Revoicer"? It's an AI voiceover that also does text-to-speech. Do you know anything about them? They have a sale that claims a one-time fee, but when I kept looking, I also found that they have a monthly subscription, so I need clarification.

[@danielmonge2318]

Your inflection is sweeter and somewhat not too confident (sometimes it sounds like you're asking a question when you are actually making an affirmation) while the AI is more authoritative and assertive. It almost sounds as if you are angry. lol It's the 5% that breaks the magic, but it's almost there. Very fun stuff.

[@asbestosflake5749]

Could you turn a large book into an audiobook? Or would it not cope with the hours of audio generation?

[@MrAnime77777]

Can I use text to speech every day for video upload?

[@hiyall5864]

Wow was really impressed....Jenn can you do a review on a new program that is out called Doodleoze where you can sketch videos with voiceover

[@therelaxation_channel]

I agree. Just from the time i've listened to you, the generated version is just a little flat..almost slightly mechanical compared to your actual voice. But i think that me watching this video beforehand probably accenuated it more in my mind. You could likely do any video you have, not let the person ever have seen your content, and they wouldn't notice anything.

[@MrVuTrades]

I subscribed!

[@MichelBarbaro]

Wow! That sounds scaring accurate! 😅

[@hilopanbepet]

Can we use it for KZbin content and can we monetize then?

[@Alianger]

3:20 what's stopping someone from training an AI on your videos and then signing such a form with a recorded message?

[@ECAmadin]

Can I upload or paste text for convertion to speech?

[@sheeplvl1]

Can this voice over speak in a different language using your voice?

[@TheBluCannon]

Can you edit your voice, ie like inside final draft, with pitch etc?

[@medialex78]

Fascinating technology! Although I was quite disappointed when I read on the company´s website that this service is only availabe in English for now.

[@pjf]

Does overdub let you download the tts file?

[@digital.frenchy]

That's freaking amazing

[@OzaidaBengala888]

it is better speechelo or descript?

[@dougmorato]

Mind blowing

[@hartmanscott]

This is really amazing stuff. I do kind of wish apple would start to build this type of stuff in Final Cut Pro.

[@SheetSmarts]

Is there a way to add voice inflection?

[@pacer562]

What about revoicer text to speech ? Is it as realistic as advertised?

[@attilazimler1614]

the replacement over the corrected audio sounds angrier than the context.

[@gracieandrex]

great job

[@fuzzy-02]

I m looking for a way to build my own using libraries instead of submitting my voice for others to train the model on and send me back the result

[@Adam-franka]

Thank you❤

[@Temas_TAD]

How do we know the audio n this video is not the generated voice?

[@vldthdrgn]

I hear a bit of modulation in the AI voice, but I can't say I'd notice it every time, especially if it was used for short corrections.

[@CuteBudda]

I love this whole idea, but I can't choose between Descript & Podcastle. I don't know.

[@jasavideokit]

Wow.. Amazing.. 😍

[@cut--]

wow! I've recently been diagnosed with a carcinoma tumor on my vocal cords. I'm going to radiation treatment but I'd love to have my voice recorded/sampled so that in case I lose my voice completely I can use future tech to talk to people! thank you!

[@ferdous_khalifa]

This is scary and amazing at the same time!

[@titapuamun2536]

Please review the stock ai voices. Can i create another person voice using this tool?

[@swrandom12]

can i make it into conversation between 2 people?

[@xtomvideo]

Still sounds robotic but who knows how this will sound in the future with further ai developments.

[@garryentropy]

sounds real, no uncanny valley effect, how did it match up with the original video clip being a bit shorter

[@AdmV0rl0n]

Really an amazing thing. But, I fail to see why you could not simply make a sound file yourself and insert it likewise - in your use case. But for dubbing people in a wider sense, who will need vice actors in future?
